[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2974962, member: 101791"] Took out my 338WM with a 2 x 8 Leupold to Africa in 2018. Fired it a total of 7 times there. 3 to check the zero and 4 for 4 animals taken. I hadn't used it until just a while back. Took it to the range and rechecked the zero again. Dead on! So it travel overseas and across the country here. If I am flying I alway worry about my scopes when traveling. Alway check them too. I have nocked over a rifle and move the zero on it. Had to re-zero it. Most of my scopes are Leupold. Have use or own a leupoid from the 70's. Only one wouldn't hold it's zero and sent it back in to get repaired. FREE! I generally hold my shots to 500yds or less. I know where to hold the scope at for the different ranges. Don't need the highend scope to do the work. I am going to get a NF scope but in 3 x 16 or 18 powder area. I am going to extend my range out to about 700yds on P dogs. The other is I don't like the lost of field of view in very high powder scopes. Beside it's only money! 😁 [/QUOTE]
